  • sway

    i3-compatible Wayland compositor

  • Sway is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for i3. And they're probably the biggest outside of Gnome and KDE, so the support should be pretty good -- they maintain wlroots, which is what all the smaller Wayland compositors use.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • wlroots

    Discontinued A modular Wayland compositor library

  • I haven't experienced any of those. The video game performance hit may be due to vsync, but I don't play games so I haven't noticed.

  • ydotool

    Generic command-line automation tool (no X!)

  • Does ydotool do what you need? I haven't even tried Wayland in years. I'm sure someday I'll find the need.

  • piper

    GTK application to configure gaming devices

  • Have you tried Piper?

  • swaymonad

    An auto-tiler for sway that implements Xmonad-like layouts.

  • https://github.com/nicolasavru/swaymonad might do what you want. (I'm the author.)

  • swaysome

  • I don't actually remember what xmonad with workspaces by default (or what sway does, for that matter), I used https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.1/docs/XMonad-Layout-IndependentScreens.html to get an independent set of workspaces per screen. You can (and I do) use https://gitlab.com/hyask/swaysome to get that with sway.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Fusuma

    Multitouch gestures with libinput driver on Linux (by iberianpig)

  • https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma this might do the job? I have been using it on Hyprland and, despite the downside of being in Ruby, it works really well and seems stable.

  • input-leap

    Open-source KVM software

  • xdg-desktop-portal

    Desktop integration portal

  • wayvnc

    A VNC server for wlroots based Wayland compositors

  • It says on their GitHub page that "Gnome, KDE, and Weston are not supported". What does that mean?

  • logiops

    An unofficial userspace driver for HID++ Logitech devices
